Before you read this post, here is the disclaimer: whatever I write below is my own interpretation which you may want to confirm with Microsoft. Why is there a disclaimer? Well, I’m going to talk licensing below… So, you know there are two different types of CDS (Dynamics CDS and regular CDS). I am… Read More »
I went to the Azure Active Directory properties earlier today for a completely different reason, and, then, I noticed something that made me jump: What?! With the client being in Canada, all Dynamics/Sharepoint data needs to be physically stored in Canada, or this whole implementation is going to stop quite abruptly. Unfortunately, when looking at… Read More »
This post is a proof of concept for the following scenario: Would not it be nice if we could use more than one security group so that, for example, we would have admins in one group and all the other users in another. This way, we might add that admin group to Sharepoint so admin… Read More »
Sep 26: A newer version of this post is available here: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/using-powershell-to-exportimport-solutions-data-and-word-templates/ I have never been a big supporter of the configuration migration tool simply because it seems strange that we need to export data manually while preparing a package for the package deployer.

They may not have affected you yet, but they will, especially if your subscription renewal date is coming soon. As almost expected in such cases, Jukka Niiranen came up with a great overview of what’s happening to the PowerPlatform (not… Read More »
I had a really good experience with Microsoft support today. What made it kind of special is that we almost had a bet with a colleague who had not such a pleasant experience a couple of months back. Anyhow, in my case we got the issue resolved in less than one hour. In his… Read More »
With the recent update, HTTP Connector Support has been implemented so we can add HTTP Connector to the DLP policies now. This is different from HTTP with Azure AD, btw, and this may affect you if you are using HTTP Actions in the flows. For all the finer details, have a look at the post… Read More »
Please note: This offer is on hold as of October 29, 2018. Did not get any but one question in October, so will be focusing on other things for now. What kind of questions do you have about Dynamics? Are you about to start a new trial to evaluate what’s doable? Are you facing a technical/functional… Read More »
This is my personal opinion, of course, but I think it’s still difficult for Microsoft to look “cool” because, frankly, Microsoft has been and still is about doing everything. They have cloud services, artificial intelligence, operating systems, developer tools, CRM, document management, they tried phones, they.. what is it they did not try? So let’s… Read More »
